some of the insults T has thrown Kamala's way - from the link:

"In a little over five weeks, in speeches, social media posts and interviews, Mr. Trump has called Ms. Harris a “wack job”; a “communist”; “dumb as a rock”; “real garbage”; “a bum”; and, employing a phrase he applies almost exclusively to women, “nasty.” In early August, he reposted an image depicting Ms. Harris as a dung beetle with her face covered in what appears to be blackface while astride a coconut. And he has made or amplified innuendo-laden references to his opponent’s long-ago relationship with the former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, suggesting she traded sexual favors to accelerate her political career.
“She had a very good friend named Willie Brown,” Mr. Trump said at a rally on Aug. 3. “He knows more about her than anybody’s ever known. He could tell you every single thing about her, could tell you stories that you’re not going to want to hear.”
At a convention for Black journalists in Chicago last month, he questioned Ms. Harris’s racial identity, saying that she only recently “became a Black person.” And in addition to a post on Wednesday on his Truth Social platform, which made a crude reference to Ms. Harris and oral sex, Mr. Trump this month reshared a video of a singer in a parody video saying that Ms. Harris has spent her life “down on her knees.”
In a statement, James Singer, a spokesman for Ms. Harris, called Mr. Trump “out of his mind.” He added, “If a family member posted what Donald Trump is sharing today, Americans would rightly be concerned.”

Trump has appeared to embrace the Conspiracy website QAnon run by the mysterious Q

from the link:

"A flurry of activity seen on his Truth Social page this week, however, emphasizes how far he’s come toward fully and openly embracing the far-right fringe as he faces an increasingly tight presidential race.

Trump shared several images referencing the baseless QAnon conspiracy that holds him up as a savior battling so-called “deep state” operatives involved in satanic rituals and sex trafficking.

“NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING,” reads text overlaid on one photo illustration of Trump walking somberly between two rows of soldiers as he is flanked by lightning bolts. A pair of eyes painted with stars and stripes fills the space where the sky should be

Trump does not appear to have created any of these images. But he liked them enough to repost them to his personal social media feed, signaling that he stands by their messages enough to use his large platform to amplify them

Still another social media graphic depicts an assortment of Trump’s political opponents — or people Trump views as his political opponents — in orange prison jumpsuits. The group includes President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Clinton, Harris, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci.

Former President Barack Obama is also in the mix, in a nod to the conspiracy theory that the nation’s first Black president has been secretly puppeteering the Biden-Harris administration."

Yes people do care and that's why Trump is gonna lose. He's getting more crazy. Check truth social. He's gone bananas. If Harris posted what Trump posts, right wing media would be outraged. Thank goodness only one candidate is crazy

I wanted to admit it was an opinion piece , so I said that

do not click on a link in a quote here, it fouls it up if it is the last thing in the quote

try again https://nypost.com/2024/08/29/opinion/arlington-incident-shows-media-falling-into-same-old-trump-derangement-syndrome/


Last I checked, wishes of the decedents next of kin don't override Federal Law. The Army informed all in advance what was allowed and what wasn't. But, Donny wanted to wantonly break the rules. Indeed Arlington was so against the plan that Speaker Mike Johnson intervened to get approval.

And, no, that isn't a blindly sourced conspiracies and the vaunted claims about broken norms. The Speaker confirmed it himself.

This editorial writer is a pinhead.

Donny says he will vote NO on Florida’s Abortion Referendum - meaning he supports the 6 week ban on abortions.

Dems dancing in the streets thanks to this political gift.

Evangelical confusion about the Republican party’s anti-abortion messaging began to set in ahead of the Republican convention, when the party endorsed a platform that says abortion is best left to the states

“The Republican Party has been clear about the value and dignity of life for over a generation. It must not fail to do so now in this post-Roe moment,” Brent Leatherwood, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the SBC’s public policy arm, said in a July 3 letter to the Republication National Committee.

The SBC voted in June to oppose in vitro fertilization. Trump on Thursday said he would require insurance companies or the federal government to cover IVF costs.

Other influential Christian leaders joined the chorus. For Leatherwood and others, the hands-off attitude of leaving abortion policy to the states to determine the best outcome weakens the evangelical push for expanding abortion restrictions at the state and federal levels.

We learned earlier this month that Donny’s campaign was hacked, and several MSM news agencies were sent the materials.

For whatever reason, none of them thought it was a good idea to publish the hacked material.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/10/trump-campaign-hack-00173503

Now the hacker has apparently started sending the materials to leftie Twitter people in an effort to get it published.

"Just this week, he’s reposted messages calling for his political opponents to be jailed, calling for a return of “public military tribunals” for people like former President Barack Obama, as well as making a graphic sexual joke about Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrat Hillary Clinton, his opponent in 2016."
